Hi just played a game from the lovely new Black Powder supplement titled Rebellion! from Stephen Jones.

That looks absolutely splendid!
Being a bit in a hurry now, I resorted to the pictures, though ;)

Thank you very much and I highly recommend the book. Oh, I totally understand about being in time pinches. Just pleased you took the time to look. :)

Splendid article. I really like the detail you put into the scenery. Was so blown away by it that I almost ignored the miniatures. :) I have alreday ordered my copy if the book but might take a while. So thanks for the hard work which is always appreciated!

Hi Christopher,

great game on a great looking table. How did you built this fantastic landscape? It\'s so realistic. Is there a tutorial on your blog?

I agree, beautiful table and very realistic look overall.

@Everyone

Thank you for your support and glad you enjoyed the layout! :)

@Thrifles

Sorry, I never did a tutorial, however I can say it\'s cloth that is layered with spray paint in various hues of green, yellow/green and light browns. The hedges are door mats cut into strips and spray painted like the cloth plus lichen glued here and there on it and loosely sprinkled on the cloth. Plus some seaweed added for additional bushes. Different shape Styrofoam hills are placed underneath the cloth for elevations.

The hedges are great. I thought that they are door mats. I will adopt this idea. Very good.
Cheers

@Driscoles

Thanks and good luck!

@Sven

Thank you and no the cloth shown in these pictures is a completely new one that I did. The teddybear fur cloth we used I still have, but need to re-work it some before I use it again.

Love the table!

As one who has experimented with cloth in wargaming (unsatisfactorily so far), I must grill you further: WHICH cloth exactly did you use? :D

I absolutely have to join the team of supporters: A great table with splendid look and feel. Miniatures are excellent as can be seen in all of your posts. I think it\'s a real pleasure to game on this.

Cheers

@Virgago

I\'m sorry , but I cannot recall the exact company, but it\'s originally a dark green felt(filz) cloth that you can order from various fabric shops to your
size specifications and colour which I then spray painted with light greens, yellows and light browns until happy. When spraying I hold the can about 10in or so away and spray
in a back and forward motion making sure the can is always moving to
avoid caking in spots that could possibly lead to cracking, but I have never had an issue with drying and
cracking. I hope this
helps. :)

@GS

Thank you kindly and so far we have had a quite a lot of fun! :D
